Sta,—Notwithstanding the contradiction which has been given to the reported intention of the French Government to send the mails to Ramsgate instead of hover s s ive have every reason to believe that such an intention exists, and we know that whether intended or hot, both the English and French Mail packets arc nontinually entering this Harbour. If no obstacle existed at the entrance of Dover HaVhour, why did his I ‘...lajesty's steam rii.Cht, ..Piry-ody, put into Ramsgate yester.le.r-, her passengers, proceed 4_ o the in readiness by morning, to t«mac on board the mail for Calais, agreeable to thc, method described by your Correspondent to have been practised last Sunday by the Ferrttt Again, why did the French Government steam packet, La Poste, enter Ramsgate Harbour last 'night, dt o'clock, where she landed her mail, if there were no ob structions at Dover? The fact is, that the attempted improvements of that harbour are mere nostrums—the Culverts, &C., against the bar, nothing better than refl.-ming the labnini with the same result ; but,supposinir Otc bar removed, and the wind never more inclinca 0 blow from the South West, one grew* objection `will remains, that no steam vessel can entr...r Dover fiat/;our from 6 to 8 /wen tint of every 24 /lours, itttlWy day of the ear,, want Wald The present system. earrying on the inteitotu4se be tween England ...tria France involves both extra risk and extra expnse. Take, for iitttance, the case of the Ferret last week—it brint'S Prince Polignac off Dover Harbour, lands him ih a boat in boisterous weather, the vessel then rune to Ramsgate, lands the Prince's carriages, &c. which are sent to Dover by land ; the vessel then leaves the harbour, and remaining at sea all night, that she may be ready next morning to receive in a boat from Dover Har bour the English mail for Calais, and then as a climax, she being short of coals, is compelled to make for Ramsgate again, in order to receive a supply to enable her to reach her destination. Major Sturgeon's marchings and coun termarehings are nothing to this. We should hear nothing of tl e Inisterous weather pre venting communication with the Continent, if instead of being compelled to proceed to Dover, where it is suspected or known the mail packets cannot enter, they were desired to proceed to Ramsgate direct. This is particularly the case with the mails from Ostend. The distance from Ostend to Dover is several miles greater than from Ostend to Ramsgate. From the state of the wind, it is pretty well known when the bar is up at Dover, or from the probable state of the tide, supposing the wind not unfavourable, the necessity exists of landing the mail in boat. Under these discouraging circumstances, it may naturally be expected the communication between the two countries is more interrupted than it would be if the packets had to make for a nearer port, and that port one into which they could enter at all times. I am Sir, your obedient servant, W. A. H. To the list of packets which arrived at this Harbour yes terday, may be added the Dover packet Water Witch, from Calais, with passengers, &c. MR. BIVEN, THE COMIC SINGER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Kean's Head Tavern, Russell-court, Drury-lane, Dec. 5. Sir—Under the head of Marylebone Police Office, in your paper of Saturday last, is the case of two fellows, one giving the name of " Frederick Beven, the comic singer," the other calling himself " Daniel Lynden, the Irish vocalist," both charged with having stolen a poor woman's coffee-kettle, &c., and were permitted by the magistrates to settle the affair by paying half-a-crown each to the woman. Now, Sir, as I am the only comic singer of that name that ever I heard of (and I have been in the profession upwards of twenty years) it must be obvious to you that, though this fellow has spelt his name (or rather the name he has assumed) diffe rently, yet it is pronounced so nearly the same that few who know me will be convinced that I am not the person impli cated in the dirty transaction. I have already suffered much annoyance through it, and as I have no other means of sup porting myself and numerous family but by my professional exertions, I fear it may injure me much in my present un dertaking. Being engaged at present in conducting the evening concerts held at the above house, your early insertion of this letter will, Sir, oblige your very obedient humble servant, 11. E. BIVEN. N. B.—There seems to be no doubt that the person tak ing the name had some vindictive feeling. CHURCH RATES. TO MY FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS IN BUNGAY. When I wrote my letter to the Churchwardens on Mon day, relative to the industriously propagated untruth, that I, my brother, and son, had paid the Church Rate now in collection, I felt sure it would prove to be a " lie with a circumstance," and I find it only fall short in this, that it is a lie with more circumstances than one, and those circum stances got up, that they might give colour to the original falsehood. An answer—such answer as it is—to my letters to the Churchwardens, complaining of this trick, I have this morn ing received from Mr. Scott. He has enclosed, in my letter to him, a copy of an anonymous note without date, which it is alleged was sent to the Collector in these words : " Mr. Spall, Sir—The enclosed fifteen shillings and six pence is to pay the Church Rates of Mr. John, Mr. Ro bert, and Mr. Charles Childs, to the parish of Bungay St. Mary." This is accompanied by the copy of another note, dated Dec. 2, 1836, purportinc , to be written by H. Spall to his master, Mr. Scott, in these words : " Bungay, Dec. 2, 1836. "To Mr. Scott : Sir—l hand you a copy of a note sent to me last night, inclosed in a parcel, sealed. " Your obedient servant, " HENRY SPALL." Now it was well known in Bungay, that I left home on Thursday, the Ist instant, and you will see how quickly this thing was got up, for on the 2d, Collector Spall writes to Churchwarden Scott, that he had " last night"—that is, the very night on which I left home—received 15s. Gd., the exact amount of the rates of Mr. John, Mr. Robert, and Mr. Charles Childs. Now, is it not remarkable, that some stranger should be so kind as to pay our rates for us, that he could get access to the rate-books, so as to know the aggregate of our joint and several assessments, and that he should hit upon the very moment of my departure for this city, to accommodate the collector, and violate my publicly avowed principles, and those of my family, by putting his hand into his own pocket to pay the rates imposed upon us ? If a friend, and not a tool of the adversary, had made up this parcel, it is perfectly clear he would have taken the receipts, which it is said are left in the hands of the col lector, and, if he did not wish to be known to my family in the matter, he could have resorted to another anonymous parcel to pass them into our keeping. Again, if a friend bad done this, would he have left other branches of my family open to the tender mercies of those who call. for jails and dungeons in aid of their religious worship ?—would they haVe left a female* open to such an affliction, when they were so anxious to relieve those who are better able to bear solitary confinement for eighteen hours out of every twenty-four? Mr. Scott stated at a recent Vestry meeting, in which the other churchmen concurred, that he should execute his office in a Christian spirit ; and 1 am anxious to show, if the truth be so, that he has not violated that profession in this mat- ter, by tracing out and exposing those who have thus impro perly used my name, and that of my brother and son, and showing that whoever has been guilty of concocting and acting in this delusion, the Churchwardens had nothing to do with it. The intimation that a Christian spirit was in future to influence those who had insisted that other persons should pay for wine and bread to enable them to celebrate the Lord's Supper, was peculiarly gra tifying when coming from the lips of those who afore time had worshipped in the parish Church of Bungay St. Mary, while their townsman was in prison, for not paying the expenses of that worship ;—and it was the less to be expected that such a change should come over the spirit of Mr. Scott, seeing that be had formerly pleaded the obligation of his office, as a motive for visiting with imprisonment and dungeons those who could not con scientiously worship with him, nor pay for the worship of his newly-adopted Establishment. Those, therefore, who have paid our Rates, if they have been paid, have removed from Mr. Scott the opportunity of m anifesting that Chris tian spirit which he had declared his determination to show ; and I am doing him a kindness, when I offer, in addition to the Five Pounds already offered by my brother and son— other Fifteen Pounds' reward—that is, TWENTY POUNDS, to those who, within the next month, can give me the in formation by which I may know who has thus been depriv ing him of the power of showing the spirit he boasted of. I trust the trick has produced no effect on the mind of any of you whose good opinion I value ; and, with the hope that we shall be able to drag to light, and hold up the real actors in the matter, I am, my friends and.neighbours, yours, JOHN CHILDS. • Since the copy of this letter was received from London, Spall has called on Mrs. Paul, for the Church rate, and re ceived an answer that Mrs. Paul does not pay Church. rate. The Moira Lodge of Freemasons celebrated their anniversary festival at the •London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, on Wednesday last, on which occasion 50 brethren partook of a sumptuous banquet. A gold medal, was presented to n nd h s is retirement from orna mented with Esq., thend s, p ‘ , a s l t u i‘ e i fi a f s t t y er p , o toi John Biggs, the Chair, for his able Presidency during two consecutive years. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1836. IRELAND. the Tory Radicals particularly are loud in their censures, because the Government do not bring forward stronger measures ; but I know that po Ministry can introduce stronger measures till the people at lriege Efk el,strongly for them. The people are taunted upon the gtilljeet j the answer to a Ministerial speech for a stronrro ,r measure is, tliiit the ,pco,pie (Int want it --that it - grievances Wouiu iliat pVtitions ' would be laid upon the table numerously slgneu. In the motion for the ballot, we were asked where our peti tions were ; when we spoke of extending the suffrage we were interrrigated iltiottt petitions ) and.when we spoke also of shortenitt Parliiiitibill§; iiBf€ gitttilarlk ireetioned. Why, I ask, wa§ wit the tift§Wef tbl,Off iiiblio'nt a sensible one, and the tlite§tidit .0E4416 - 10 I'llitg,stgis Must necessa rily be char] TheY (Mist .tare ful ho w th e y involve the eiistefiee B,f niSkrial body, in g o i ng against the necessary practices a t ..); Ch'lt.the back-door influence—the control of the Royal mina, the Tories (who belong to the Court) have over the State. —(Hear;) The Ministry cannot voluntarily bring forward measures. I *ill Mabel' say that they ought not to do so ; for if the people are not clattittfdtiS itt edllltfg otiti the nistry cannot be efficient.—(Hear, heat.) Whk f &Ira plain that the people and the press do not support the Mi nistry in making these demands—they complain of others for not acting, and will not rid themselves. Why not, Sir, form Political Unions in England? Why not tett s”ch a sys tem of agitation as we have successfully established here, in stoad of grumbling as they do ? Why not work in the public cause as we are working here? Why not work as we do— strike the blow side by side as we do—legally and consti tutionally—but firmly and perseveringly 2—(Hear, bear.). Let them look at Ireland and see what excellent agita tions we have got up here. In the old Catholic Associa tions, Sir, we had hardly any Members of Parliament amongst us. Here we have many. We have Peers also —High Sheriffs of Counties, aye, and Deputy Lieute nants among us here. It is a political axiom that perse verence is one of the greatest secrets of political success. The smith find the anvil cold. He cannot work at first, but he strikes it—blow after blow—it warms—blow after blow —he sticks to it until he can work with it, but is was his repetition that heated the iron to its proper and useful tem perature. Just so with this Association. The Radicals of England, instead of considering how they ought to find fault with the Ministry, ought to come forward like this Society, and :assist them. They ought to agitate in every place where the might •be of service to the Ministry, instead of embarrassing them by complaints. We have a fine sys tem of agitation in Ireland.—( Hear, and laughter.) There is not a parish in this country which is not stirring now.— ( Hear.) We have no further need of church machinery. We must now have recourse to State, and no man was ever more anxious to separate Church from State than I was.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Now the plan I wish to adopt is one somewhat similar to that which, before, was so successful. I wish to have two pacificators appointed in each parish. One to be nominated by the clergyman of whatever religious persuasion there is in the majo rity ; in a great many parts of Ireland the Catholic is the majority, but in some parishes of the north the Presbyterian clergyman would have the duty of nominating. —Well, I would give the nomination of one to the clergy man of the majority, and let the parishioners appoint the other.—(Hear, hear.) I will then move to have a monthly report of the management of public affairs in each parish furnished to the Association.—(Hear.) To find how many voters there are in the parish unregistered ; how they may be disposed to vote, and how they may be influenced to vote. lam now come back to the pacificators, and I re peat that if we had that system in operation we should have complete success in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred elections throughout Ireland. Their first duty would be to prepare a monthly report of the state of the parish furnishing in detail, the particulars which I have be fore enumerated. Their next duty would be to prevent, as much as possible, the existence of agrarian outrages. There is another duty which would devolve on them, that of pre venting riots, and faction-fights at fairs and markets. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman sat down amid loud cheering. The resolution was then put and carried. Mr. O ' CONNELL then postponed his notices of motion for addresses to be prepared and forwarded to England. The Justice Rent received this day was then announced to be 306/. Is. _ , MEETING OF 711 P GENERAL ASS OVIATION. (Abridged from the Mdrninpi Advertiser.) DUBLIN, Thursday Evening, Dcc. 8, LAW- past Six. The General Association met to-day, at three o'clock, Sir WILLIAM BRARAZO; itii•t:; in The Secretary (Mr: teellai) then Had ig,ll.linttit4u and letters from Sir Valentine Blake ; 13 :t ., M, :s srs. P. Cassidy, Diiasssa - ano others. A large number of members were then proposed and ad mitted, and a considerable sum of money handed in as sub scriptions to the Justice Rent. Mr. O'Connell entered the theta at four 0 4 clock, and was reteived with loud cheers. Mr. Bum ,- then handed in 20/. enclosed to him from his brother, in Liverpool, where the collection had been made, and moved that the subscribers be admitted as members of the Association. Mr: O'CoNtitt.t. seconded the admission of those gen tlemen. What they wanted was the combination of all parts of the empire, and he hailed with alacrity the ap proaches of good feeling which were made from one side of the channel to the other.—(Hear, hear.) What he wanted to show was, the spirit of union which Ireland was so tho roughly disposed to ekhihit towards England, if England *add give them justice, and if it refused them that, they would how to act afterwards.—( Hear, hear.) It was easy to conciliate them, but. it would be found difficult to subdue them.—( Hear, hear.) He would tell that to the boasters in England.--(Hear.) Mr. STANTON then read a letter which he had received, in which allusion was made to Poor Laws, and the necessity for them in Ireland. Mr. O'CONNELL remarked that it was proper that pub lic opinion should be collected as much as possible on the subject of Poor Laws.—(Hear, hear.) The other object of the Association was to obtain a satisfactory settlement of tithes, and he candidly confessed that in the consideration of this, the question of Poor Laws might be brought in by means of a transition from the one to the other.—(Hear, hear.) He had chosen the Trades Union as the arena for the discussion of Poor Laws ; for although there were few members of it who could not support their families, yet they could ;lot prophecy that hereafter they might not become re duce l to such circumstances as might prevent this ; and therefore, if there were a system of Poor Laws, there were none who would have a greater interest in them. (Hear, hear.) It had been held out that Poor Laws would be thus far advantageous to operatives, that when they held out for high wages, they could derive support from their parishes in the interval whilst they were out of employment ; and yet it was now the opinion of the Trades' Union, that Poor *Laws would not tend to relieve the destitute, but would tend to keep them still destitute, and that the num ber of poor would be increased by them.—( Hear, hear.) The Rev. Mr. O'MALLEY proposed, as a member, the Rev. Mr. M'Gauley, a gentleman who has obtained some celebrity for certain discoveries in the science of electro magnetism. Mr. J. H. TALBOT, M.P., handed in some subscriptions from the town of New Ross, and in doing so complimented the character of Mr. Walker, M.P. Mr. O'Cosiisem. concurred in the tribute paid to Mr. Walker's character, and said he regretted to have heard that there was some dissensions in the county of Wexford ; that hint, he trusted, would be sufficient to put an end even to the appearance of these divisions, which, at the present epoch, were to be much deplored. Sir FRANCIS M'DONNELL entered into some details with regard to the present political position of the county of Kil dare, and concluded by moving the admission, as a Member of the Association, of Mr. James O'Farrell, brother to the Member. Mr. O'CONNELL seconded the admission of the brother of the excellent Member for Kildare. Mr. O'CONNELL announced the admission of a young attorney from Limerick to attend to a recent decision in the Court of King's Bench upon the subject of Commoners. The decision was of the utmost importance throughout Ire land to the Liberal interest. He had also to announce that a gentleman of decided liberal principles would stand at the ensuing election for Dungarvan. He was not at liberty to mention this gentleman's name, as the preliminary arrange ments were not yet perfected. There was little doubt, how ever, that he would stand, and be returned in despite of the system of exclusive dealing, which would no doubt be put in force by the Tories of Dungarvan and its vicinity. Exclusive dealing had been imputed to the Liberal party some time since as a fault. It was now, however, a distin guishing trait of the Tory character. Mr. West, M.P., who, no doubt, had an eye to the elevation of a Judge ship, was one of those who had recently promulgated the doctrine of making a distinction between man and man — between one religion and another. Who dare say that there is such a thing as partizan Judges in Ireland? What could be so monstrous as the idea of a partizan Judge ? If there could be anything to justify open rebellion, it was partizan ship in the Bench. It was a thing of so odious a character, so fatal to life and property, and at such utter variance with the first principles of justice, that it was more fitted for the atmosphere of the infernal regions than to be introduced into the details of civilized life.--(Cheering.) Nothing could be more deeply demoniacal than the idea of a man affect ing to be a Judge, and being in reality the partizan of a party. Learned personages of this description, whose poli tical sentiments could be supposed to colour their decisions, were practical rebels—not by the pistol or the cudgel, but with deep hypocrisy, lurking beneath the ermine sleeves and stainless robes of the Judge.—(Cheers.) He had heard that a certain ex-Attorney-General—he could not himself vouch the truth of the assertion—had withdrawn his custom from a man who fortunately could well afford it—Mr. Hutton, the coach•builder, of Summer-hill. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving the admission, as a member, of the youthful son of Mr. Maurice O'Connell, of whom he had that day heard favourable accounts. — (Great cheering.) He supposed that the soubriquet of Mr. Daniel O'Connell, for so the young member was named, would be at some future period applied to him, with a view to his annoyance. All he (Mr. O'Connell) could wish was, that, at all events, he might serve his country to the extent that his grandfather could wish.—(Cheers.) The admission of Mr. O'Connell's youngest grandson was then put from the Chair, and carried unanimously. Mr. O'CONNELL then referred to the meeting lately held in Manchester, at which he was accused of impeaching Mr. Arthur O'Connor as a traitor. He never called Mr. O'Connor a traitor ; he thought him a little knavish, but he never called him a traitor.—(Hear.) He (Mr. O'Con - - nell) did say that 111 r. O'Connor was a gentleman by birth, education, and talent, and a high-minded man, but that he took a part in Irish politics which be (Mr. O'Connell) would for ever condemn, because it amounted to—lrish Parliaments should lie shortened—no freedom of election could be effected till the ballot was introduced. Ho was convinced that no property qualification for admission into the Legislature should exist, but that the only qualification should be that of intellect and character. These were his Radical principles. He disliked the Tories, because they were the very antipodes of his other motions from correcting abuses lest it might lead to revolution.— ( Hear.) He (Mr. O'Connell) was a thorough Radical. He was of opinion that no branch of the Legislature should be irresponsible. The King was responsible, the Lords should be so, and be was perfectly sensible that the Commons would not be responsible until household suffrage was universally established—(Hear, hear)—that course, and the Manchester Tory Radicals might speak of him (Mr. O'Connell) as they pleased, but he never spoke offensively of Mr. O'Connor, but that he was guilty of the greatest mistake that any man could fall into, that he could by vio lence obtain anything by risking the security of private pro perty or general safety. The French Revolution sacrificed these blessings, and instead of advancing liberty, it terrified treason. That was no slander of him, because he admitted it himself. He (Mr. O'Connell) , vould, be sorry to see him tried and convicted ; but he was glad that he was banished. Mr. O'Connor was greatly mistaken when he thought that he could do any good to Ireland by a Republican revolution. Nothing worse could go abroad than that any thing but legitimate, constitutional, legal, and determined agitation, could effect any good for Ireland. He supported the Whigs because they went with him a part of the way ; and as lie got then a certain extent, and received an instalment of their support, he wonld be more certain of leading them farther. Mr. O'CONNELL proposed John New, a tithe martyr, as a Member of the Association. His claims were these. He was sued for I/. ss. ; he was sent to gaol, and suffered nine months' imprisonment in vindication of his principles. The admission of New was by general acclamation. New said that he was offered his liberty if he promised not to take an action for false imprisonment, but he refused to comply with the request, being ready to die for Ireland sooner than do so.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL then rose and said—l rise to bring forward the motion of which I gave notice more than a fortnight ago. We have appointed to the different counties registry inspectors, and I would mention as amongst the number, and by way of parenthesis, the name of Mr. Geo. Dowling, of Kilkenny. We have by the assistance of those gentlemen augmented the registries in many counties. We are organizing by those means every property.—(Hear.) We are obtaining all proper influences co induce the land lords to grant leases, and the people to register. We have thus agitated, and all Ireland is responding to us. The country is becoming animated from one end of it to the other, and if we persevere we have a strong prospect of sending to Parliament not merely 68, which we did under most unfa vourable circumstances at the last election, but even 90 out of the 1 05.—(Cheers.) I have had occasion to refer to the different parties into which England is divided—l have ob served upon the Tories—l have observed upon the Whigs have made my observations upon the Radicals—and this I have observed, that the Whigs and Radicals blame the Ministry for not going further than they have done— Mr. TALBOT, M.P. for New Ross, was then called to the Chair ; and after the usual vote of thanks, the meet ing adjourned at six o'clock. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. PARIS, DEC. B.—A new project for the marriage of the Duke of Orleans is now talked of ; the Princess now thought of is the eldest daughter of the Infant Don Fran cisco de Paula, who has remained faithful to Queen Isa bella. This young Princess, who is niece on the father's side to King Ferdinand VII. and Don Carlos, and on the mother's side to Queen Christina and the Duchess of Berry, is between 15 and 16 years of age, and is said to be very beautiful. The Government publishes nothing this morning re specting Constantine, but the Eclaireur of Toulon, which first gave the alarming news that has been in circulation for these two days, says that it may be hoped that it is false, as there is no communication between our army and Bona, and no dispatches have come from the Marshal. But the want of news for 15 days after the departure of our army, is well calculated to keep up the alarms caused at Bona by the account of the two Arabs who brought the news which we have given. Among the accounts circulated at Paris, one of them which have been most credited is, that on the Marshal's ar riving Constantina was found in a better state of defence than he expected, and being in want of provisions, ho was obliged to commence a retreat, which is stated to have been disastrous. Others say that our vanguard charging the Arabs with impetuosity, entered Constantina with them, but that the Arabs, recovering from their alarm, on seeing the small number of their adversaries, obliged them to retreat—that this movement carried frith it the rest of the army, whose retreat is said to have been considered diffi cult by the swelling of several streams which had been changed into torrents since our troops left them. But we repeat it, these accounts are all from the state ments given by Arab couriers. Whatever our opinion is, the most alarming is the si lence of the Ministry, unless it prepares to give us an agreeable surprise. Heaven grant it may be so ! Marshal Soult is not expected at Paris till the end of the month.—Journal da Commerce, Dec. 8. FRENCH EXPEDITION IN AFRICA. The Eclaireur de la Mediterranee, of Toulon, of the 2d instant, contains the following disastrous intelligence rela tive to the expedition against Constantina :—" The steam packet La Phare, which left Bona November 28, arrived here yesterday. At her departure it was known that our army was retreating towards that town, and that the inten tion of attacking Constantina was renounced, at least for the moment. The troops had to support six or eight days of continuous rain, which impeded their march, and created a great deal of sickness. It appears also that the Mar 7 shal met with much greater resistance than he. had con templated. The enemy came forth with a force superior to ours, and possessed a greater quantity of artillery, consist ing of field-pieces. We were obliged to leave one of ours in their hands. We do not learn whether there has been any serious engagement between our troops and the Arabs, whether we have sustained any great loss in men, or what is the present position of the army. The communication between Bona and the army is attended with great difficul ties, and therefore we may doubt the authenticity of the de tails. All that we know, upon which we can rely, is the fact that the Marshal is retreating. We have received letters from Bona, giving us particulars of this affair, but in truth nothing more was known there but unauthenticated rumours. The retreat was made known by two Arabs sent to Bona. They were immediately shut up, but the news nevertheless got abroad. We have not received any letter from our own c orrespon d en t s , b ecause th e y w ere with the expedition. Bo na was i n t h e u t mo st cons t erna ti o n." 'Phis account appears to us to be extremely doubtful. There arc inconsistencies in the accounts of the Arabs which render it next to impossible to believe that it is c orrect. Thus the march of the army is said to have been delayed by six or eight days of rain, but intelligence had been received that the French army cannonaded Constantina on the 22d. Now the army did not leave Bona till the 13th or 14th, and, in order to reach Con stantina on the 22t1, the march could not have experienced any serious interrupti on , f or e i g ht d a ys are not more than eno ugh, in such a country, to get over a distance of nearly 40 leagues. The same recital adds that the army beat the retreat on the 23d. But is it probable that this would have been done after an attack of only one day ? We re peat our doubts, recollecting that, during the expedition a gainst Mascara, some Arabs who came to the market at Oran spread similar reports, which were afterwards proved to be false by the official despatches. These reasons for doubting the truth of this intelligence, are somewhat strengthened by the following article in the Ministerial evening paper of last night :—" The journals continue to raise doubts as to the force of the expeditionary army of Constantina. We cannot more effectually reply to them than by publishing the following desp itch from the Go vernor-General of our African possessions, received yester day by the Government. It will be s:Tn that Marshal Clausel, far from doubting the efficiency of the troops under his orders, relies, on the contrary, on an immediate and easy success " Bona, Nov. 13. " The troops composing the expeditionary corps of Con stantina 1611 return to Bona from the 10th to the 13th of December, and to Algiers on or about the Ist January. Wu are on the point of departure, General de RignY was at Guelma three days ago. The tfilres are tendering anew their submission. Nothing of any consequence has hap pened - between Guelma and Bona since our troops have been in the former city. The brigade of the General will arrive di•etiftig: Achmet Bey is at Constantina. Not- M; tamest entreaties, the distant tribes refuse to co-operate with him ; and it is possible we may bo able to enter Constantina without striking a blow. This has foi nitre rtropths past been the object of my secret disposi dnl ettt in great hopes of accomplishing it. The Bey of Tunis litt6 ptutilist'd rite ; that he will receive Achmet Bey in no other quality thrift as a fugitive in search of an asylum at his hands, but never while he is in possession of the means of injuring us.

MADRID, Nov. 29.—This capital has again been the scene of disorders. For some time past it was known that the fourth battalion of the Royal Guard, which had re mained in Madrid, had openly expressed dissatisfaction at not being paid at the proper periods, and at being forced to be in barracks at six o'clock every night. The battalion did not in a mass manifest these feelings of discontent, but it contained in its ranks some men, whose connection with the clubists had rendered them very clamorous. Yesterday, when Colonel Puig was, as usual, going his round of inspection, he was received, on entering the bar rack, by a pretty hot discharge of musketry, . which, fortu nately,. (lid him no injury. At the same moment some of the soldiers cried out, " DoWn with the Colonel ; we will have another." This officer was, consequently, obliged to leave his duty unperformed, and to quit the barrack pre cipitately. Pursued by several soldiers, he would proba bly have become their victim, if he had not taken refuge in a house near the barrack, in the Calle de Fuencarral, opposite the hospital. Emboldened by the success of their first act of insubordination, fifty men of the fourth battalion quitted their barrack, and marched towards the Puerto del Sol, uttering cries of—" The Constitution for ever ; clown with the Ministers." Fortunately some of the officers belong , ing to the battalion, aided by a few National Guards, had sufficient influence over these deluded individuals to induce them to return to their barrack. At half-past teven o'clock in the evening, the city authorities began to exhibit symp toms of alarm. 'l7itc rappci was beaten in several quarters of the capital. • The tradesmen closed their shops, and the Natioilial Guards ran in crowds to the points where they were directed to assemble. The Captain-General, Seoane, who has been ill for some days past, and who had just had leeches applied to him, hastened, regardless of the state of his health, to tie Post office, and established his head-quar ters in that position, which it was so important to guard. To the praise of the Government, it must be said, that at the first moment of,alarin it neglected nothing calculated to repress the rising. The National Guards, who assem bled in greater numbers than ever, vied in zeal for the pre servation of order with the very small detachment of troops which was left in Madrid. A picket of the horse Royal Guard took a position before the Puerto del Sol, and strong patrols, both of infantry and cavalry, traversed every part of the city. At half-past eight o'clock four pieces of ar tillery were taken to the Carrera San Geronimo, but this reinforcement received counter orders, and the detachment almost immediately returned to its barrack, defiling by the Calle d'Alcala, for the Governor had received certain infor mation that the 4th battalion would not make any move ment during the evening. At ten o'clock tranquillity was restored, and in the streets nothing was heard but the sound of horses' feet and the challenge of the patrols. To-day it was the turn of the 4th battalion to do service at the Palace. The company destined for that post, in- , stead of being ready at the fixed time, was upwar ds of ha l t an hour in arrear, and when at last the soldiers made their appearance, it was observed that they were not under the command of any officer. Two sergeants, who marched at the head of the detachment, and a sub-officer, bearing the ensign, supplied the place of the proper o fficers of the post —a major, a captain, and a lieutenant. O n arriving before the Palace this company was received with a resistance, for which it would seem they had come prepared, for their arms were loaded. The commander of the post which was to be relieved having refused to quit the place until he should see a superior officer at the head of the relief-guard, a violent dispute arose, and at length the soldiers of the in ' surgent company, irritated by . the opposition they eneoun• tered, fired upon the guard which was waiting to be relieved, and a captain and another officer fell mortally wounded ; and it required the inte , rvention of the Captain-General and N of the Brigadier Don arc's° Lopez to induce these soldiers to return to their barrack. At noon, the company defiled with drums beating before the detachment on guard at the Post office, who refused to salute the flag of the insurgents, which was then borne i out by one o f t h e ser geants. The Cap tain-General, n spite of his indisposition, traversed with the greatest activity all quarters of the city during the day. The National Guards are under arms, and in order to pre vent the further effusion of blood, a negotiation is being carried on with the insurgents, who are evidently the in struments of a faction the object of which is to overturn the Government. o'Clock.—At the present moment only a small number of the soldiers of the 4th battalion arc to be seen in the streets. They are addressing violent speeches t the groups - •'] collected about them. The 4th battalion r at its barracks, but sentinels have bees placed by t i^ iof nagents at the gates, as well 83 advanced guards to give notice of • danger. The Post-office has all the appearance of a for tress. The detachment on guard has been doubled, and a detachment of the National Guard has been stationed in side. The C a ptain-General has fixed his quarters perma nently with his staff at the palace. No one can get niglt it, all the approaches to it being occupied by the National Guards. The disposition of the civic militia is admirable,. but there exists one great cause of u neasiness—the greater part of these patriots are destitute of ammunition. MADRID, Nov. 30.—After a night during which, though it proved tranquil enough, everybody was on the watch, order is now completely re•estabiislied in this city. To make the insurgent s oNiery return to a sense of their duty. it was necessary to make use of the cannon. To restraint the populace, excited by th; events of the two preceding: days, a severe example was rtv.ded. This military rising has terminated in the most melodramatic manner. Early this morning, all the troops were under arms. The Na tional Guard and garrison bad been reinforced by a batta lion of the Queen-Governess's Regiment, which was re called in all haste to the eapiiol. Four pieces wo of artilleryar had been planted at the Puerto; del Sol ; t m tected the palace ; and every meast?e was taken to over come any resistance that might be offered by the insurgent soldiers concentrated in their barrack. A messenger was • sent in the morning to the barrack of the motineers, who replied, that they were resolved to die rather than surren der. The barrack was then blockaded, and the artillery commenced to act against it. After the discharge of 16 cannons, the besieged capitulated at noon. They were dis armed and conducted to the Campo de Guardias, an im mense plain some distance from the capital, where the bat talion was decimated, and 30 men were destined for execu tion. Three soldiers and three conscripts had already been shot, when a pardon from the Queen reached the place of execution. Still a military tribune will take cog nizance of the affair, and the regiment will, it is said, be broen. Or der is completely restored. FINANCES OF PORTUGAL.
